It started in 2002 with an idea by the founders of Bikers Make A Difference – BMAD, Kelvin and Jayne Halloran. That idea was to have a social gathering of bikers on Paignton Seafront in Devon and to raise valuable money for local charity. BMAD is now, probably, the biggest biker, music and beer festival in the South West of England. We also have regular Bike Nights running from the beginning of June until the end of September on Wednesday evenings from 6pm.
Paignton Bike Night finally saw its birth in 2003 and has gone on to become the longest running largest regular social gathering of bikers in the South West of England. Each year on Paignton Seafront we regularly have a mile of bikes parked side by side.
Due to the success of Paignton Bike Nights and the original festival we now organise a Bike, Band & Beer Festival weekend called The BMAD Bike Festival which is held on Paignton Seafront. Our first Festival was in May 2005 and proved to be a total success not just for our charities but also for all concerned including the many sponsors and traders that attended.
